Every Christmas, Nottingham Playhouse produces a family show aimed at children aged 3-8 in the Neville Studio. The production then tours to primary schools, libraries and other community settings in the region.
We are very proud that this production provides a vital experience for younger children, many visiting a theatre for the first time. It is a core part of our Christmas programme and has been building a reputation year on year.
For 2025/26, we are producing The Little Mermaid and we’re seeking an East Midlands or Midlands-based Director. We are looking for a professional director who has experience of working with professional performers as either a lead artist or assistant.
The Composer and Writer will also be commissioned via an open callout.
The show will be produced in the Neville Studio and then tour to primary schools and libraries in the region.
Nottingham Playhouse is committed to a policy of equality of opportunity and working with people representative of the diverse communities we work with. We actively encourage submissions from the Global Ethnic Majority and Disabled people. Nottingham Playhouse is part of the Parents in Performing Arts (PIPA) campaign and welcomes submissions from people who have caring responsibilities.
